1 inrvnrd, Yulo, and Cornell 'will meet on noxt
Krlilny on tho Hudson Itlvcr at Poughkeeptle In
vcliat Is considered to bo tho most Important
eight o.ircd shell race over rowed In American
waters. "Iho crows, have been coached by tho
innt not oil rowing- experts In the world, and
that should nienn a tost of skill, strength, and
nnlmnanshlp which has never been icen before.
' Coaching In such contests has grown to bo
tho pilnclpal (actor. Eight clover athletes
1 poo-ly coached are worthless In such
h b.Utlo of brown and brains, so that
1 th" mnn who Instruct or guides a 'varsity eight
nonndays must know his business thoroughly.
In a word, a coach Is ruorcly an Instructor, a
mail who knows ovory lino point about crow
rowing, who Is a stickler for physical condition,
ml who commands tho respoct and obedience
of li,s men.
lira . -ml has It. 0. Lohmann, tho English ex-
' port, whoso methods have been watchod with
lntcri.it ovor Mnce ho took hold of the crimson
oiirsmrn lust fall. Ho Is ploasant mannered and
rne going, so much so that ho might be aocuied
l,y euuio persons of being lenient at times, Ilut
lie It conversant with every branch of rowing,
mil when bo sets his critical eyos on his men as
they sit In their shell the slightest Haw docs not
timpo him. Lohmann Is not a sovero critic;
thnl is to say, ho does 'not lssuo ordors In tha
usual bluff manner employed by some Ameri
can coaches. Ho Is more Inclined to encourage
hla men wltli compliments than to fill them
with mlsapprchonslou by harshly picking flaws.
"That was vory well rowod, boys!" Is one of
his expressions after n sprlut on a tlmotital.
" You have inodo a vast improvement, but thoro
is still something left to bo dono. You must
pull jour stroko through to tho end, and be
. infiil tn been tout blades near tha water."
Tho Englishman Is very positive about one
, thing his mou must observe tho training rules
to the lottcr, and they aro doing so.
As in years past, the Cornell men are under tho
supcnlslon of tho ex-professional sculler,
Charles K. Courtney, who has turned out many
noted crows and also a record breaker. Courtney
never says an eight is perfect. It Is claimed
that he can see faults where others cannot, and
be never lets up In his coaching until the very
eve of a race. When the tlmo came yesterday
morning for the Cornell 'varsity to take a prao-
itice pull on tho river Courtney was tn his cle
ment. "Careful now! he said aa the muscular oars
men Circled their frail shell from the boathouso
and put It In the water.
'Get In and row across the rlverl" was the
noxt order, and Courtney jumped Into tho
launch. The surface of the river waa anything
but smooth, and when tho 'varsity had crossed
, long, rolling swells camo In toward the shore.
They wcro caused by a passing steamer. Aa tho
, oarsmen began torownpstreamConrtneyralsed
, his megaphone and called out!
"Ease all!" That meant that the coxswain
had :o work the shell around so as to meet the
waves broadside. After the swells had sub
titled the coach ordered tho crew to get under
wai.but tho water waa so rough that he soon
jelled:
"Let her run!" With that every oar was
burled in the water and the boat camo to a
ftnud'tlll. From some unknown source, as no
i learner was in eight, more swells began tomake
tl unpleasant for the crew, and for almost an
t fur the eight remained motionless. Then, as
the men began to paddlo slowly toward the
"bridge. Courtney followed closely In their wake,
we gnphone in hand.
' Let her run 1" he called again as smooth
l water was reached. There waa a few momenta
dc'ny. after which Courtnsy commanded:
" Sow, get ready 1 Qo I" Away went the
eight, each man pulling his blade like a Trojan.
n The ehcll was fairly leaping out of the river
when the coach exclaimed in stentorian tones
through the megaphone:
"Numbers four and six, you are not holding
your shoulders back! Do you hear me I Throw
your thoiilders back Don't atoop over! That's
Letter!" Fifty yards further on camo this In-
E Junction:
17 , "Number six! You are rushing your slide!
oi must bo more careful about that! You're
doing it stilll There, that'a about right!"
The crew seemed to be doing splendid work
when suddenly Courtney roared:
"Let her run!" The boat came to a full stop
and the launch drew near.
"Hoys," exclaimed the coach, "you are not
retting the water where you reach for It. Catch
n tho water harder at the beginning of your
stroke. Now, then, get away!" In a few ino-
dents there was more criticism :
"Ilrlggs, you are not rowing your stroke clear
H through. Jrve told you that before. Pull It
through hard and don't hurry to get your blade
M out of the water."
"Number one, yon are rushing your slide!
Number six, you are swinging over to starboard,
Be careful, four! H-o-l-d y-ou-r s-h-o-u-l-d-e-r-a
b-s-e-k! Now, Brlggs, clean through with that
stroke. All together, catch the water harder!
Now! Now! Now! That's tho stuff."
The speed of the crew was remarkable at this
stage, but Courtney's brow was milled aa ho
exclaimed:
"B-r-1-ff-g-s, y-o-u a-r- n-l-p-p-i-n-g y-o-u-r
a-t-r-o-k-et
For three minutes after that the coach
watched bU men In silence. He seemed to be
aUing them up as a body, and looked pleased
m they worked together like machinery. Hut
the next moment be frowned, as he bawled
through the 'phone:
"O'Dell, you are kicking your seat out too
v quick! Don't be In such a terrible rush! Num-
ber three, you are going back too far wlthyour
shoulders t You're settling at tho finish I There
you go rushing your slide again, Splilmonl
The crew rowed fully a quarter of a mllo now
without much comment until the stroke oar
was at fault again.
"Brlggs I Hey, there I You're not keeping
your arms straight on the pulL Why don't you
remember that point I Eh I That's bettor!
Pull your stroke out, too. Now, let yourselvea
out a bit!
Then came a spnrt and the boat cut the water
like a knife. Courtney watched the work care-
itullr, and finally blurted out with a feeling of
enthusiasm:
"Now, boys, you're got ber travelling)
Steady! Btcadyl Pull the stroke out! Don't
splash! All together! There! Good! Keep It
upl That's first class! N-o-w 1-o-t h-c-r r-u-nl"
The launch drew close to the shell and some
instructions were Issued In an undertone. The
men prepared for another start, and when thoy
made one It was very pretty.
, leather high!" suddenly cried tho coach.
Here como aomemore breakers!" A series of
swells rolled In and the crow turned tho boat
broadside and rode them nicely.
Now, wo'll go back and have dinner," was
umrtney s command. The oarsmon hit up their
troko aa If (bey were anxious to got to the
'"ViC, tablo, and Courtney followed thotn.
Mill criticising and encouraging them aa they
pulled down stream.
' WoTI take another row to-night," said the
co.icli ns the uitn crawled out upon their float,
and I shall expect better work.'
Courtney did not leave tho young athletes for
a iiiointnt until they were ready to walk to their
'"' lers, a mile orso away. There were seroral
Jin tuners of the freshman crew standing about
k. 'he boathouso as the 'varsity men left, and one
W or tncin approached the coach with apparent
ill apprehension:

Aad Flees Over the llontetem When Famed
by n Policeman.
Tho wlfo of John Ncallo, a German 'longshore
man, died two weeks ago. Since then John has
trlod to dronn his sorrow in drink, and whllo
temporarily deranged yesterday morning ho sot
flro to his attto room In the threo-atory tonement
nt 600 Washington street. Aftor his wife's
death, Ncalle sont his two children to llvo with
his slster-In-law In Brooklyn. Ho continued to
occupy tho little nttlo room In tho Washington
ttreot tenement, nnd the neighbors say that he
would stay thoro by tho hour with onlr a bottle
of whlskoy for company. About n week ago ho
began to show symptoms of dementia.
There aro twelve fnmlllos In the Washington
street houso and not loss than llvo mombers to
each family. Shortly aftor 2 o'clock yesterday
morning Airs. Mnry O'llrlon, whoso room on tho
third floor is directly undor Ncallo's, was nwak
ened by hearing Koallo dragging his furniture
about, She went out to ask him to koep quiet
and found tho hall full of amokn. It was coming
from under N'eullo's door, nnd after knocking ut
It and shouting to thoiunn, without getting nny
rosponso, sho rushed down to tho street yelling
" Flro!" nt tho top of her limgB. Tho other ten
ants lost no tlmo In following suit, and soon the
sidewalk was crowdod wltli shivering people
dressed only In tholrnlghtclotlics.
Roundsman Dougherty of tho Church street
station came along, and when Mrs. O'llrlon told
him about Noalto ho ran un to tho lattor'a room
and buret In tho door. In tho contro of tho room
waa a bonllro, and boslds it stood Ncallo grin
ning and piling on bed clothes and plocos of
broken furniture
"Como out, mnn, or you'll bo burnt nllvo,"
cried tho roundsman, but Ncallo only grinned.
Ho rushod to tho window whon Dougherty
started for hlui, climbed nut, and straddlod tho
peaked roof of the adjoining building, lite
roundsman followed, and when about a
dozen foot from the innniao was liorrltled to
soo htm slide down tho stdo of tho roof and
disappear. Ho thought tho man had fallen
into tho street, but when ho looked over tho
mlgoho spied N'eulis coolly climbing down tho
tiro oscapo. Policeman Walker, w ho was In tho
Btrci't, had turned In an ahum meantime, nnd
while tho llrcnion put out tho llnmcs ho laid for
Noalloat tho foot of the flro escape. Hocauglit
him when ho camo down, and after a brief strug-
81o subdued tho man. Tho tiro did about $500
.image. Ncallo wns locked up and will bo ex
amined to-day as to his sanity.

D atavia, N. Y., Juno 'Jl. Tho trial of Howard
C Benham for tho murder of his girl wlfo,
Florcnco, in January last by rtrusslc acid poison
ing began this morning In the Supreme Court.
It Is expected that tho trial will rival that of
Carlylo Harris, which it closely rosembles In
many features. The prosecution Is conducted
by District Attorney Lt-sour of Oencsco county,
assisted by District Attorney Kcuetlck of Buffalo.
Wllliom V. Mocker of UufTalo, William E. Wob
stcr of Batavla, and A. 11. Richmond of Mead
ville. Pa., dofend tho prisoner. Tho great battle
will bo between tho modlcu! experts and tho
chemists.
Howard C. Bcnbam Is only 20 years of age.
His wlfo at tho tlmo of death h-idnotyetrenched
her majority. Ucnham was born tn 1870. In
1892 ho engaged in organizing World's Fair ex
cursions for a Buffalo concern. Ho beenmo ac
quainted with Miss Florcnco Tout of Byron, N.
Y an heiress to S4 0.000. They eloped nnd wero
married by a Rochester Justice of tho Pcaco
when Benlinm was 22 sears of ngu nnd his bride
but 17. Two yonrs latent son was born. About
this tlmo Benham became rather wild In his
habits. One day ho heard a story told in tho
drug store to tho effect that a Canadian had
killed his wlfo by ghing her prusslo acid,
and that tho authorities found it difficult to de
termine tho cause of death. A short time after
ward ho asked tho party to repent tho story.
Later Benham purchased prusslc acid on two
occasions, and just before Christmas his wlfo
died. Death was assigned to natural cnu;"s, but
rumors which wore put In circulation rc3ulted in
an investigation and an nutopsy. The result was
tho tlnding of prusslc acid in tho stninnih of the
dead woman and tho arrest ami Indictment of
Benbam. Tho murdered woman left u will,
which isln llenham's handwriting, leading most
of tho estate to her husbund.
Benham, whon ho entered court at 10:11 to
day, was neatly dressed in black, nnd was Ironed
to Deputy Sheriff Dyer. His face was pale from
his long confinement, 1G3 da) &. A special panol
of seventy-live jurors was called nnd the work
of securing a Jury was begun.

OllOSEX EXPERTS.
Adopts the Plana with llliht Modifications, and
Thrte Slnde by thn Ilotanlral Society
Coinr. fttltea otra Noaenlptnro loctrtj'a
llepurt on Proposed monuments Adopted,
Tho modified plans of tho Now York Botanical
Society for its garden In Bronx Park wcro
adopted by tho Purk Board yesterday. The
members of tho Board of Directors of tho society,
headed by Prof. NT. I Brltton. who had tho
plans In charge paid but slight attontlon to the
recommendations of tho committee of experts
who wcro asked by the Park Commissioners
to pass on the plans, and who recently
mado a report advising the board to decline to
ppra o them. Except In the matter of changing
tho location of tho director's resldcnco and a
few unimportant dotalls the directors ap
parently followed tho advlco of no ono but
themselves In modifying tho plans. Tho loca
tion of tho director's house would probably not
havo been changed If tho Park Commissioners
themselves had not been muved to protest
against tho obvious anomaly of a private resl
dcnco in a publlo park. The only member of the
board who voted against the adoption of tho
plans was Commissioner Stiles. Ho afterward
pointed out tho ridiculous position of thoCom
mlvsloncrs who voted to ignore tho advlco of the
commtttco of exports, which was created by the
Park Board ltsolf.
"I voted against the adoption of theso plans
primarily because tho advice of tho oomrulttoa
of exports was not heeded," ho said. "We In
vltod tha advlco of counsel In tho person of these
experts. They disapproved of the plans and they
have not approved of tho modifications. There
fore my voto was cast in the negative. Further
more, I don't believe that an adequato study of
the landscape has been mode tn connection with
tho preparation of these plans, although thoy are
somowhat better than tho original design
presented to tho Park Commissioners. In the
original plan the power house was nut In a mag
nificent grovo of trees. That has boon moved to
tho edgo of tho park, which H a distinct gain.
In tho original plan n big grecnhouBo was put In
a beautiful dell, destroying thereby a priceless
plcco of scenery. This dell has. nt IcaBt. been
temporarily preserved by molng tho green
houso to a point south of tho Southern Boule
vard, whoro It has Uttlo or no room to expand.
Tho road system, apparently, hns not been
studied at nil. Onn road goes within forty feet
of tho railway tracks, and another through tho
middle of a meadow. I nlso disapprove of tho
location of tho museum."
When Prof. Brltton unrolled the plans on
President McMillan's desk W. W. Niles und sol
an! other members of tho Bedford Park Tnx
pnjers' Association protested against their
adoption, unless provisions wcro made for n car
riage bridge ontriince to tho park across tho
Harlem Railroad tracks nt Scott avenue. Tho
plans provldo for n foot bridge only. Tho law
compols the rnllroad company to build ono
brldgo aloo tho Mosholu Parkway, and an
agreement had been mado with tho Park Com
missioners to put it nt Scott avenue, wbteh is
sixty feet wide. Prof. Brltton explained that a.
carriage brldgo bod not been provided for bo
causo tho Botankal Society objected to too
many entrances on ono side of tho garden.
"But that is the only point at which the rail
road can bo compelled to build tho bridge," said
Mr. Niles.
President McMillan nsked Prof. Brltton to
amend tho plan so aa to provide for tho carriage
bridge.
"1 cannot not for tho wbole Hoard of Direc
tors," replied Prof. Brltton. "If Mr. Nlles wilt
present bis reqneat lu proper form we will bo
glad to consider It."
This proposition did not seem to ault the Bed
ford Parkltcs. " I have heard It said that if we
objected to tho foot brldgo we wouldn't get any
thing at all," said Mr. Nlles.
"That Is not so." replied Prof. Brltton.
" Do ou forma lly protest against tho adoption
of these plans, Mr. Nlles I" asked President Mc
Millan. Mr. Nlles made no direct reply. "Why don't
you adopt them with the Scott avenuo entrance
left open I" ho said.
" You can't adopt half n plan or a plan with a
hole lu it," said ComniKnloner Stiles. "Tho
whole plan is faulty and I don't propose to roto
for It. Thn plnn ought to have been mado by
men who know something nbout parks. When
such a design Is mado it cannot bo altered off
hand." Whllo this discussion was going on Commis
sioner Cruger was dictating a resolution to Sec
retary G'Lcurv. It was an follows:
"Itcsolxxil, That the plans now before this
board, as prepared and submitted by the Board
of Managers of tho New York Botanical Garden,
showing proposed building to bo erected on tho
grouuds allotted for the uso of the New York
llotanlc.il Garden, bo nnd tho same horeby aro
approved, re"eriDg the right to determine as to
ndrlvewny entrance ut Scott avenue, and tho
width thereof."
Commissioners McMillan, Cruger and Ely
voted in tho affirmative and tho resolution was
adopted.
1 ho National Sculpturo Society made a report
to tho board on several questions of art which
were referred to it. In the matter of the appli
cation of Gi n. Daniel Buttcrtield for permission
to erect on Mount 'Iom.nrar Eighty-first stroet
and Riverside Drive, a monument to the officers
und soldiers of the Twelfth Regiment who died
in buttle, the society advised tho board to deny
the request.
"Mount Tom," said the report, "Is not
n desirable site for any monument, but If it
is necessary to uso it aa tho hunc for a monu
ment, tho Btructuro should lio far mure digni
fied and In every way mare Imposing than that
submitted. Thn design lUiclf is lacking in monu
mental character, and better adapted to a
tint plate. iu than to a rocky eminence. Thode
slgn, moreover, shows n want of thorough artis
tic training In Its detail."
Tho Bite for St. Gaudens's statuoof Gen. Wil
liam T. rihrnunn was not determined upon, tho
report said, because tho ecultitor wuntcd further
tlmo for consideration and an opportunity to
completo a design which will have a direct
bearing on tho question of tlto. In the matter
of tho memorial to Richard Morris Hunt, both
the site und the monument were approved. If
tho Municipal Art Commission ngrecs, tho
mcmariul will bo erected In tho Mall of Central
Park directly nppnelto tho Lenox library, wblch
Is ono of Mr. Hunt's chief works.
Tht, report was unanimously adopted.

The bloyole has been causing discord tn
tome of tho hospitals, and In nt least ono of
them It thrcatonod to ralso n rumpus which
hilght hnvo ended disastrously for tho young
physicians concerned. Thoy wcro In tho
habit of riding whenever they had tlmo, and ns
their hours of liberty wcro not extended there
was novor much tlmo to be spent In making
changes of toilet not absolutely nocessory,
Tho result of this was that knickerbockers wero
mado to do duty iu tho hospital as well as on
tho wheel, and It frequently happened that
tho cntlro staff wns in bicycle breeches simul
taneously. Somo of tho oldor physicians wcro
frulltr of nn equally Borlous breach of what tho
ospital superintendent decided was tho dig
nity of tho Institution, nnd ho promulgated nn
order that no member of thn staff would In tho
future bo allowed to mnko his rounds in
knickerbockers. Tho superintendent was not
very much feared by the pliyslclonB of tho
house staff, but it looked aa though ho might
bo potent this time. There was a disposition
on tho part of tho men to defer to his order un
til ono of thorn hnpticticd to recall the fact that
tho visiting physicians, who Included In their
number sumo of tho best known specialists In
tho city, very frequently rntno to tho hospital
on wheels. Bcforo nny formal involt ngivlnxt
tho miperintrndcnt's orders was declared, ono
of tho houio htntr casually mentioned to hlin
how often Dr. A., Dr. B., nnd Dr. U. came to
tho hotpltnl on wheels, or, nt nil events, In lit
cyclo costumos. No further action wns taken
lu the matter of tho prohibited knickerbockers.
Tho Buperintcndont novor ropcntccl his edict
against them, tho house doctors continued to
wear them, and luckily tho visiting physicians
wero as often ns over seen in them. So a 1)1
cyclo suit remains tho most poptila ratttro of
tho houso physicians and thu superintendent Is
mute.
